There is no telling how many years I used Windows’ Notepad program to do most of my writing online and offline. I haven’t ever been a really big fan of the big word processing programs. I have a copy of OpenOffice ready to go on my computer, but I hardly ever use it; not because it isn’t a great program, because it is. I just don’t use it because it is easier to create a .txt file, jump into Notepad, and get to work. Win32Pad is a great subsitute for Notepad. Just as small and just as easy to use.

The thing that separates Win32Pad from the other Notepad replacements out there is that it has programmers in mind. It provides the same functionality you would expect to see in Notepad, but gives you a little extra, as well. All you have to do is set it up, and then get to using it. There is nothing more simple than that. Simple and tiny are the two keywords that went into the production of this free download from the start.

So are you in the market for a new, simple Notepad replacement? Then give Win32Pad a try. At 69 KB, it isn’t going to kill your bandwidth trying to download it. It also takes your keyboard strokes just as well as some of the bigger players out there.
